I’m just absolutely stunned by the rural Idaho sky. It sits at 2 or 3 on the Bortle scale for measuring dark skies, a vast difference from Brooklyn’s light-polluted Bortle 9. You leave the house lights and walk out, before moonrise, right into a sea of stars, the Milky Way overhead.

And oh, the moon. In a city you forget how brightly Luna can shine. Here, looking out on a field brilliant with moonlight and crisp shadows, you know exactly who owns the night.

A night sky dense with stars over the low black shape of a hill and a couple of silhouetted trees. The bright river of the Milky Way stretches diagonally across the sky.

Silhouettes of two pine trees and a distant forested hill, under a deep blue sky filled with stars.

The moon brilliantly illuminating the night sky, washing out all but a scattering of stars, as it backlights towering pine trees and casts the striped shadows of railings onto a wooden deck.
